It’s been years
since Jim Ritchie regaled us with
those tales from his boyhood, college days and adult
life, beautifully illustrated by his wife Perry in
their first Shocco Tales book. Now, in Shavin’s
Under a Southern Shade Tree, Jim returns with 26 new
yarns that will delight old fans and introduce new
ones in the style you’d expect from a Southern
grandfather and master storyteller. You’ll start
with a fragrant and hilarious side of country life
in Phew! Is A Four Letter Word. You’re smack in the
middle of barbershop pseudo-wisdom as old buzzards
swap insults in Slick Heads and Old Men. You’ll grin
at Jim’s comedic paranoia in Stormy Weather, and
laugh out loud at the antics of the tuxedoed,
unhappy usher in Frank, Football and the Wedding.
Even esteemed lawmakers get their share of attention
in When Dry Creek Ain’t Dry, a school principal is
the subject of a creative practical joke in Vain
Vengeances, and the tender tribute to Jim's daughter
will most likely strike a chord with fathers in
M’Darlin’. Featuring Perry Ritchie’s captivating
artwork that adds even more life to the stories,
you’ll agree without a doubt that the new Shocco
Tales: Shavin’s Under a Southern Shade Tree was
worth the wait.
